Also saying the avermedia will replace the goxlr is misinformation imo. You show it as a great idea but in practice both the software and the hardware are a complete trainwreck! IMO goxlr mini is still best option and will be for a while.
Your Comment is Amazing, it’s like your telling me hey 👋🏻 don’t dream (the product features in future) Wake up ( the product doing inly that in-front of you). You literally waked me up.
I have never heard of an interface having a preamp like that. That sounds like utter insanity! Thanks for saving me the time of having to check it out. Well done Harris.
I almost want to laugh at them for having the audacity to throw in such a mediocre preamp in their interface. It's almost like they wanted to make sure they could lower the cost of the product as much as possible and ended up falling flat on their face without even realizing it.
This was the epitome of "They had us in the first half, not gonna lie". I really want this product to get the support it needs to succeed. I haven't been this excited about an interface in years and the fact that it can potentially replace 2 integral devices is something I want to see happen. Also, maybe it'll light something in Elgato do make something similar for people not wanting to go USB for mics and still have a "form" of Wave Link and Stream Deck integration for XLR.
Definitely sticking with the GOXLR till this one gets a major overhaul, thanks for the honest review! Interested to see what updates/upgrades GOXLR comes out with over the next year or two
@@silvydb i do. You would add yet another preamp before the avermedia and send in the mic signal super hot, so you would not need the preamp beeing strong in the AM.

This is super important to build trust and also helps manufacturers with less support time from end users because if we can't get the hardware to work, we know it's us and not the hardware. In this case, we know it's the hardware and not us. :D
I bought this and paired it with my GOXLR for my WFH audio solution. It works flawlessly after the initial software installation steps. I’m using Blue Spark XL Black as my mic. No issues as all. I tried other mixers and they did not out as advertised: - Razer Audio Mixer - Wave XLR
I am so glad you review stuff that doesn't come up to snuff because then we actually learn something from it!! If all you talk about is the products that work well and you like then we never understand how it could be bad. This is wonderful; your explanations were reasonable to follow along with (though still beyond my understanding) and you ended it with a review of the actual usability of the item rather than an opinion of what you 'think' of it. I don't care if it's ugly, pretty, or weighs 20 lbs, I want to be able to use it and understand how to use it. Thank you.
So in order for anyone using your common dynamic microphone, you're gonna need to get a cloudlifter or something similar which puts the total cost over $450. Just get the GoXLR at that point.
WOW ! ! Great Video ! Great by Harris reviews & point of view . This is why I love buying products from Harris reviews approve . Especially ranking as a beginner streamer in twitch .
This guy is fast and relevant! He's not afraid to call out the shortcomings that's for sure. I'm subscribing! Too many people get stuff to try and are so thrilled to have them that they lose objectivity. This guy's the real deal! I looked to see if Bezos had it and could not! They must have pulled this product for another try. Well done guy!
Even if he did, the main problem is the preamps and they aren't fixable with a software update so I doubt it will actually get good enough to be useable
I don't see how in the world this thing is supposed to come close to what the stream deck does in combination with OBS, GoXLR, and the myriad of plugins associated with the three. Besides... Didn't you think the GoXLR was going to be replaced with _____________, how many times now? Not gonna lie. It was one of your videos that convinced me to get the GoXLR in the first place. It has been a hallmark feature to my setup, aesthetically, and a powerhouse for the interconnected nightmare I have constructed. Wave 3 Mic was not able to solve what GoXLR continues to amaze me with. Oh.... And I really do use the profile switching and LED's in connection with my entire RGB setup---which comes first for me
although i don't think this is a GoXLR killer.. i am so happy another company came out with a device that can "compete" (obviously after software is upgraded and other little hiccups). When a company can compete and create multiple options you start to see more innovation, price changing, design changes, and other things as creators we want to see added or taken away. $350 for this device is a great price point!. I feel like TC-Helicon will come out with a new one before this year is over and then drop down the prices of the Past GoXLR's to help all budgets.
thanks Harris for the review and your time doing it. Save us a lot of money. I guess we have to wait for AverMedia to come with a solution for this or wait for a 2nd generation of this mixer. Anyway thanks again for the review. Keep it up Harris, you're doing good.
Love the massive play of offering your services to Avermedia on this video. I truly hope that this worked and landed you a contract! If I later find out that you were brought on to help develop the software, I will 100% purchase the unit. I'm sure there are others thinking the same thing =)
I would like for a proper XLR deck that isn't proprietary hardware or software, and be fully open-source, so then people can go in and create all sorts of tweaks and customization for the software to suit their needs, to go in and create their own preferences, mods for certain things, make deeper level changes for audio of being able to control pre-amp, audio mixing, gain levels, compressors, etc... everything you'd expect for an XLR control deck.
Completely agree with AverMedia Software vs others. I run a AverMedia Capture card because it has less sync issues that Elgato... also i started streaming from a Mac, and Elgato didnt work with MacBook. Honestly Elgato Wave Software was great. I moved to GoXLR, and have loved it because of actual dials etc. Need something tangible to get me to upgrade from a GoXLR. GoXLR 2 with Touch Screen for Samples and voice changes, or a huge software overhaul.
I always get nervous seeing these titles. Still think I made the right choice for me with the GO XLR. Thanks for the input. Also, that top down angle felt pretty disorienting, like the shot was upside down...
As a potential customer, the thought that someone up top decided that the state of that software and gain performance is acceptable, annoys me... especially for its price. Thank you for the honest review.
GoXLR was hugely successful for a first product. Not sure what their roadmap is, but I would be all over this as a concept for GoXLR2 and maybe go the extra mile. There's a lot to be said for consumer confidence.
Never been happy to hear that a product is bad. The video scared me because I just bought a GoXLR. So hearing that there was a possible replacement that was a bit cheaper scared me.
I’m an odd duck since I use a Mac as a stream PC and everything was fine for me up until you mentioned the preamps. It’s a bummer, but I appreciate your saving me $350!
It's not for everyone, but ever think about doing a series on an analog audio setup? Pre-Amps, Mixers, Compressors, Power Conditioners, rack mounts, and shit? Or does anyone know a channel that is as good as this/epos/podcastage that covers that kind of "streaming" gear? I feel like someone who goes so hard to get peeps off the webcam bandwagon might also do the same for the audio side of things
This. This is my new favorite stream device. Great as is imo but like you said, potential is crazy high. This plus a Fethead is still cheaper than a full-size GoXLR which at least deals with the preamp part...but yeah woulda been nice to see something better in there.
Avermedia should have used the money from the touchscreen and put it into the audio components. For the cost of this, you can get a GoXLR Mini and a Stream Deck and be set for a very long time.
I was so hyped I remember you saying in your streams for the last couple weeks don't buy a go XLR yet and I knew something new was coming out soon I just wish it was something that was worth waiting for. I'm so glad to see companies trying to make a product that surpasses the go XLR not just matching it but a product that doesn't function is as much good as a product that doesn't exist. I would pay a licensing fee just to have a virtual software like elgato's mic software but that works with all microphones. Something more feature-rich than voice meter banana that would be a good stepping stone between that and a go XLR. I would even pay the elgato tax for them to release a competitor hardware product. I'm so disappointed in avermedia because they genuinely had the opportunity to release a one of a kind sensational product, and then they cheaped out in all the areas that actually matter.
DUDE. IVE SPENT LIKE A YEAR CHANGING CABLES. AND REAJUSTING MY SETTINGS FOR MY SHURE AND GOXLR i watch this video that has nothing to do with it, but he drops the "the gain should be at 60" bit and i look. mine was at 64. NOW EVERYTHING IS FIXED. SMH SMH SMH SMH SMH SMH SMH THANK YOU.
When switched from a UX2 audio interface which I only got for pod farm software. I never expected an audio interface to ever power a mic enough to be usable live. So when I swapped to a new audio interface and wanted hardware gain I bought a DBX 286s. So instead of "no option, completely unusable" I know that you could just plug mic into a DBX 286s pre amp processor then run a line out into any audio interface or mixer.
Kinda similar with AMD Gpu drivers, they make good products, but they tend to take their time to make the software level work correctly, got both 4k pcie cards from Elgato and Avermedia (4k 60 pro mk2 & live gamer 4K) and for recording quality hands down avermedia wins, but since Elgato software is just well made and more flexible (flashback recording, multi app, streamdeck integration), its the better choice for streaming in general.
Also the other notice it's not just an XLR input.. it's a combo input.. You can also fit a 1/4" plug in there.. Which is valuable coz I was lookin at wireless lav mics and none of them have an XLR plug, what most of them DO have is a 1/4" plug stickin out of the receiver, which may need to be plugged into a small cord but.. yeah. I dunno for me personally-- I'm starting to think that the big mic in your face thing might not be for me. I feel claustrophobic trying to game with this big thing in my face and have to avoid hitting it when I get up and stuff. I'm thinking a lav mic might be better, but the GoXLR and Wave XLR both have just straight XLR inputs (it's not a combo jack) so that wouldn't work without a small extension cable but when it comes to audio every added connection in the audio signal brings noise and potential nightmares.
I've found relying on these types of all-in-one devices to be a real pitfall. I have a dedicated audio interface for my XLR mic, a stream deck for...well stream deck related things, and a Korg Nano Kontrol 2 MIDI Fader that when used with a program like Power Mixer (overrides your built-in Windows mixer and allows you to "keybind" faders/keystrokes to turning up/down/ext specific programs) and VoiceMeeter can be fully utilized to control ALL the audio ins and outs of your PC. Getting a specific device to handle each specific task is way better than hoping that one device will do all those things perfectly.
Regardless of competitors to the market; It'll be years before I replace my SM7B, GoXLR, and Streamdeck; They're proven valuable assets to have. Whatever comes to market will have to prove their value over time for people to see them as viable and buy their product.
What's your favorite streaming device? And which one would you love to see upgraded this year?
I want something like this or a GoXLR Mini that has two XLR inputs.
My GoXLR is my fav. Make the GoXLR even better and I'd buy it.
I still prefer the XLRGo. Yes it's expensive but it's still more beautiful and user friendly in my opinion
Mac compatible goxlr ANYTHING
Also saying the avermedia will replace the goxlr is misinformation imo. You show it as a great idea but in practice both the software and the hardware are a complete trainwreck! IMO goxlr mini is still best option and will be for a while.

I was so hyped just for you to drop me on my head lol
Thanks for everything you do for us!
I feel like this is always AVerMedia signature. Get us hype on a product that COULD be good but then leaves us wanting more in the end.
Kinda similar with AMD Gpu drivers, they make good products, but they tend to take their time to make the software level work correctly, got both 4k pcie cards from Elgato and Avermedia (4k 60 pro mk2 & live gamer 4K) and for recording quality hands down avermedia wins, but since Elgato software is just well made and more flexible (flashback recording, multi app, streamdeck integration), its the better choice for streaming in general.
Also the other notice it's not just an XLR input.. it's a combo input.. You can also fit a 1/4" plug in there.. Which is valuable coz I was lookin at wireless lav mics and none of them have an XLR plug, what most of them DO have is a 1/4" plug stickin out of the receiver, which may need to be plugged into a small cord but.. yeah. I dunno for me personally-- I'm starting to think that the big mic in your face thing might not be for me. I feel claustrophobic trying to game with this big thing in my face and have to avoid hitting it when I get up and stuff. I'm thinking a lav mic might be better, but the GoXLR and Wave XLR both have just straight XLR inputs (it's not a combo jack) so that wouldn't work without a small extension cable but when it comes to audio every added connection in the audio signal brings noise and potential nightmares.
Thanks for all of these honest reviews
Avermedia has a good support squad on reddit,
they were very swift too resolve my issues.They even asked for my logs theyre decent.
I had my hopes up on that mic. I really hope AverMedia hires your software developers though!
this is dope man thank you
Thank you for your honesty! Love your content!
Got to always appreciate the honesty Harris brings to the table.
as soon as it cut to 5 days later you can tell its been a long 5 days
I've found relying on these types of all-in-one devices to be a real pitfall. I have a dedicated audio interface for my XLR mic, a stream deck for...well stream deck related things, and a Korg Nano Kontrol 2 MIDI Fader that when used with a program like Power Mixer (overrides your built-in Windows mixer and allows you to "keybind" faders/keystrokes to turning up/down/ext specific programs) and VoiceMeeter can be fully utilized to control ALL the audio ins and outs of your PC. Getting a specific device to handle each specific task is way better than hoping that one device will do all those things perfectly.
Regardless of competitors to the market; It'll be years before I replace my SM7B, GoXLR, and Streamdeck; They're proven valuable assets to have. Whatever comes to market will have to prove their value over time for people to see them as viable and buy their product.
